Very helpful video, thanks for sharing :)

Interesting video. I prefer self standing tents because whenever i see a canopy i like to pitch my tent under it. Typically a canopy or roof will have a hardstanding area beneath such as timber decking or concrete.

That is a fairly good point. I've opted for the tent I'm bringing mostly for its low profile low visibility design. But it has some drawbacks to go along with its advantages.

@mattmcconnell6870 Schools tend to have lots of covered walkways etc that you can pitch your tent under and are very quite on the weekends.

[@mattmcconnell6870]

That's a pro tip right there.

Can you say more about your portable shower?

[@mattmcconnell6870]

Hey. The shower I use is a 3D printed head that screws onto a bottle thread. It's not complex and anyone can make one. The key is to print one with a siphon tube that reaches the bottom of the bottle. That way it gives you a continuous flow of water.

What’s the pump brand?

[@mattmcconnell6870]

The pump for my air mattress is a thermarest. The bike pump is a lazyne I think. The markings rubbed off a while ago.
